FB25 cam carrier reseal - or not?


Recommended Posts

I know there's a ton of information about the FB25 cam carrier leaks, and I've done a lot of research. Of all of the forums, I trust the advice/opinions of this one the most. I've seen that although it's usually a seepage, it sometimes can drip onto sensors. Is it known of any other long term situations of not having the sealant re-applied? I know the leak can return over time. With that engine - checking oil I realize would be routine to do anyway. It seems the CVTs are relatively reliable in that era. 


Situations for me will be changing, and while I don't currently own a Subaru, but have owned many over the years - I'm considering an Outback or Forester in the 2016 year range. Are the 3.6 engines prone to the leak as well?
